In Explanation.

\ member Of the Skowhegan Electric
Light Company calls our attention to the
following statement in last weeks RE-
PORTER; "The Corporation got authority
to invest in an electric light plant last
winter, but has made not the slightest
move toward putting in plant and even
agrees to pay more for the light than it
did last year"
This Is correct statement as the sum
of $1,000 was appropriated last year and
$1,000 this year, so the Corporation pays
5000 more for 1.-THE light" viz the Eiec-
trie iigh than it did last year. 1t, how
ever, gets five additional lights for the
two hundred additional dollars, the price
per light for the whole number, being re-
dneed from $50 last year, to SIS this
year. This acceptance of the proposition
of the Electric Company was simply a
matter of justice and fair dealing with
the Company.

Arbor Day.

Tuesday, the 10th inst. is the day desig
mated by Governor Bodwell in conformity
with an at of the Legislature, As
Arbor Day This is new thing in
Maine but has been observed in other
states with good effect. The necessity
for its observance by the planting of trees
is not Of the same Importance in this well
wooded state as in some of our western
etc, and the adorning of public and pri-
yate grounds is a matter Of Importance to
any state and to any town or village.
In our own fair village in which we
take commcndable pride we venture the
assertion that the adornmcnt of grounds,
the trimming up Of trees, shrubs and the
cultivation Of lawns and gardens is below
the average of villages of its size in New
England, and our highways and squares
are not kept with that scrupulous nicely
that they should be kept in village rep
There is no reason why Skowhegan
should be behind any town in Maine in
those things that 90 in to make up the
residence of thrifty, cntcrprsing, we'll
to-do people.
1t is very probable that the Village I'm
provcment Committee of the Skowhegan
Board of Trade will look after this when
it gets at work, but 1t will be good
thing to start it Arbor Day by the plant
ing of trees, the grading of grounds, and
the filling up of unsightly holes whenever
there is necessity for it. If each owner
would look after the street Immediately
in front OF his premises, the result would
be great Improvement in the appear
ance of our village streets.
Time and money expended in beautify.
ing our homes and their surroundings,
are well and probably expended.

Ellsworth By Judge Whtehuu,c at Au-

appearance, indicate that the number of

wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia and

person can use it without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gists to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
so 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported, Such Il med cine AS the German
